malu moreira
Malu Moreira, a Brazilian designer-turned-painter, has been living and working in Costa Rica for over 10 years.
Her atelier, set-up between the jungle and the ocean, has provided the artist an open and undisguised method of observation, giving birth to portraits of women, as well as abstract paintings, that blend paint, collages and 3-D techniques. With unambiguous references to Klimt, Malu is inspired by the deep and mysterious look of the female-nature; rooting her works in investigative research of new techniques and materials, the resulting work is imbued with latent expressions, feelings, eroticism and poignancy.
“Having semi precious stones in my art brought me an intrinsic connection with nature.”
